=======================================
I am really pleased to see a number of these titles up for nomination, in particular Greed, Random Harvest, Test Pilot, The Search (Monty Clift's debut!), Captains of the Clouds, Bathing Beauty, King Solomon's Mines, and especially my long-lost 70s Raquel Welch favorite Kansas City Bomber (roller derby chicks duking it out!). I hope that regardless of what's voted on, Warner Home Video decides to release all of these eventually, as some were never issued on VHS.

I wonder if I can cast all five votes for Erich von Stroheim's Greed?? That seems to be the only must-have in the list for me (though, like Joe, I have a special fondness for that incredible 70's kitsch classic, Kansas City Bomber).

I haven't seen Mervyn LeRoy's I Am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang (starring Paul Muni) in years, but that'll probably get a vote from me as well.

We're almost half way through 2004, and the following bold titles of that group have either been released or has been noted with annoucned release dates or rumors on the net. Also, just about every title in this group has been shown more than once on TCM, so far this year. I think most if not all will be out by next January.

If Greed is chosen (and it probably will be), I really hope the 2-hour version is included. The 4-hour restoration is interesting from an historical and academic perspective, but a four hour movie with two hours of stills gets really boring...
Besides, Greed has been hailed as a masterpiece for decades in its two hour form, it's not like we needed the four hour version to re-evaluate it.

If you don't have a copy already, you might want to make a special S-VHS recording of TCM's widescreen showing of Point Blank on Tuesday, July 13th, at 10 pm Eastern, just to tide you over until its DVD release.

A very interesting and diverse group of choices. It will be interesting to see what the winners will be. Also nice that voting will not be limited just to AOL members this time. Gives more people a chance to have their say.
I'm fairly certain GREED will win, and that it would end up being a 2 disc set with both versions.
I hope I AM A FUGITIVE FROM A CHAIN GANG wins. It's an outright masterpiece!

Just another example of how Warner Bros keeps in touch with its consumer base, actually listens to it, and accords it the appropriate response. Would that Sony and Disney ever put in a fraction of the effort to actively communicate with its public!
